  I think there are at least two ways to heal after being abused:

  1. Justice. Seeing that person locked up or dead and knowing that they can't hurt anyone else.

  2. Forgiveness. Some need to do this in order to get on with their lives.

  Both are equally as therapeutic in my eyes. But when you lower the sin of child molestation and equate it with stealing a lollipop seems to trivialize things to me:

  So when your facing God on your judgement day he will say that your stealing that lolipop from circle K is the same as the child molestor.

  As it has been said before that you can let go and "forgive" in the true sense, which means dealing with it and letting things go. It doesn not mean affording a monster the status of a human being when they aren't. A monster is a monster go read East of Eden by Steinbeck he explains how monsters walk among us. I find that people think forgiving is that you have to pretend what they did never happend, that they are now good loving people I mean hell you forgave them they are now blessed in some sort of sick twisted way. Anyone that will molest a child is a monster no if ands or BUT's therefore if it happened I would let it go and deal with it. IF IT HAPPENED TO MY CHILD I WOULD HAVE THEM LET IT GO AND DEAL WITH IT AND THEY COULD VISIT ME IN PRISON. As I don't forgive anyone that would molest my child.

  I must admit, my comment isn't about abuse but my only enemy died in a heroin over-dose and I was happy. Strange thing is I am a very forgiving person, and the guy had the excuse of being a diagnosed psycopath, but I was very, very happy.
